ephillipe/docker-flower repository overview

#Usage This docker provides the flower GUI for the celery workflow system, based on a redis broker.

The redis broker settings can be set via environment variables:

REDIS_HOST: Defaults to 'redis', so in case of docker linking this will work out of the box
REDIS_PORT: Defaults to 6379
REDIS_DATABASE: Defaults to 0

Example with linking:

docker run -d --name flower --link redis:redis placr/flower

Example with redis running on 'another.host' (linking will not work across hosts):

docker run -d --name flower -e REDIS_HOST=another.host placr/flower

##WARNING BE SURE NOT TO USE THE WORD 'FLOWER' IN THE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES E.G. VIA LINKING OR MAESTRO-NG (BOTH OF WHICH MAKE THEM FOR SERVICE DISCOVERY): THEY HAVE A SPECIAL MEANING IN FLOWER. FLOWER WILL FAIL TO START
